Medical care's always present, with nurses on staff, wound care, diabetic support, incontinence care, podiatry, and help with therapy services like occupational therapy or rehabilitation for getting back on your feet. There's respite care if a family caregiver needs a break, as well as adult day services and hospice care, so short-term help is easy to find, and folks who stay longer can transition into different kinds of care. Building features include safety systems like sprinkler systems, handicap-accessible setups, washers and dryers, salon and barbershop, fitness center, cable TV, kitchens or kitchenettes, housekeeping, and maintenance.
